Notes
'Madame Le Hellé' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Madame Le Hellé') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. It bears white blooms that you can cut for the vase. Plant it in a spot where it can stay for years, since peonies do not like to be moved. Pair it with plants that add contrast in leaf shape and height.
Pairs well with Rainbow's End hosta, Sedge, and Annabelle hydrangea.
